Corinne Vacher, PhD

Research Director at INRAE | Associate Director of the UMR Vineyard Health and Agroecology | Plant Microbiota & Plant Health

I am an ecologist interested in microbial communities and their role in plant health. In 2024, I joined the Plant Health Department of INRAE to establish a new research program exploring the grapevine microbiota and its protective functions against foliar diseases. I lead the Grapevine Microbiota Team of the Vineyard Health and Agroecology Research Unit and coordinate the PARSADA GetUp project, which focuses on microbiota-based strategies to protect grapevines from downy mildew (Plasmopara viticola).

Our research focuses on managing vineyard diseases and pests through prophylaxis, biocontrol, plant breeding and biomonitoring.
